About This Video:
With more iron smelting experiments coming up, I demonstrate 3 different methods to make charcoal, ranked easiest to hardest.
The first method was in a simple clay lined pit where a pile of wood was neatly stacked over and lit from the top down. The pile then completely carbonizes without turning to ash. When the sticks at the bottom burn the coals fall into the pit and are extinguished with water. This method is the easiest and takes the least time. But the charcoal is wet and smaller pieces are made as it tends to over burn before extinguishing.
The second method is the mound which involves making a conical pile of wood and coating it in mud leaving openings around the base and one n the top. Again the pile is lit from the top and the fire burns back down against the draft carbonizing the pile. The fire is then snuffed out by closing the openings. This method produces better quality charcoal of larger lumps with less fines. But it takes more time and labor to make as the mound is demolished each time a batch is used.
The final method was the charcoal kiln. This was a cylindrical furnace with holes in the base that was filled with wood and only the top was covered with mud. It works the same way as the mound method but instead of coating the whole mound with mud each time, only the top was covered. This makes good quality charcoal with less labor once the kiln has been built.
About Primitive Technology:
Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick – An axe, pick up a stone and shape it – A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials.

Mark Rober is a great dude and makes amazing videos! He was dealing with the globe's biggest Super Soaker and also asked me in order to help construct the primary structure while I was going to California. We exercised the scale that he was opting for as well as extracted a grid over an account photo of the initial Super Soaker. I moved the grid to a sheet of plywood and used it to draw out the image to range. I just quit with a jigsaw and also developed a straightforward framework from 1×4.
After I had the general shape of the water weapon, it got sent off to a neighborhood prop contractor to actually make it resemble the initial. Be sure to have a look at Mark's video for the remarkable results!

Some close friends asked me to earn them a console table/media facility for their initial residence! They additionally provided me some redeemed yearn floor covering to utilize in the job. They asked for some gliding barn doors to hide their game console as well as cable television box when they just weren't utilizing them, so I located a great package to easily add moving barn doors to almost any type of project. This is a great woodworking task that I think any individual can do, also if it's their very first big furniture job!
